Singularity

When synth supergroup Node first surfaced with their eponymous album in 1995 they, more than anyone else, nailed “that sound and vibe”, which had become the obsession of so many others. They seemed to encapsulate the very essence of the early German electronic music pioneers such as Tangerine Dream but with production values to die for courtesy of Node founder members Ed Buller and Flood, who were of course internationally renowned producers in their own right. But it was another 19 years before their follow up album appeared on DiN as Node 2, to be closely followed (by Node standards), with their live concert album performed at the Royal College of Music, London. Up to that point that was the total canon of their work except for the EP “Terminus” recorded at their infamous Paddington Station gig.

Surely they must have more material hidden away in their vaults and indeed this is exactly what the album Singularity is, the legendary “lost” Node album. Recorded at the same time as their original sessions in 1994 this has DiN stalwart Dave Bessell join Buller and Flood alongside original member Gary Stout who was later replaced by Mel Wesson for the two DiN releases. Presented here for the first time, mastered to modern standards but otherwise untouched and in its original form and recorded to two track with no overdubs. As a bonus the track “Terminus”, mentioned above, is included in the release.
